Peru
In 1913, American explorer Hiram Bingham famously introduced the world to Machu Picchu in the April issue of National Geographic magazine. Follow in his footsteps, and explore this archaeological wonder for yourself, with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic. Descend into the city to walk through the ruins, and discover so much more in the land of the Inca: Ollantaytambo, the vast Sacsayhuamán Fortress, and Cusco, the oldest inhabited city in the Americas, with a rich heritage of Pre-Inca, Inca, colonial, and Republican cultures.
“Peru is utterly fascinating—the mysterious ruins of Machu Picchu in the new world rival the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.”
